Changing Resilience

The primary source of Resilience is from a player's armor. There are multiple options to increase Resilience.

Mods

Mods form the primary way to increase Resilience outside of intrinsic armor stats.

Mod	Resilience Increase
Resilience Mod	+10
Minor Resilience Mod	+5
Resilience-Forged*	+3

* Requires the Artifice Armor perk to drop before the mod can be socketed.

Fragments

Certain Fragments can increase Resilience while others can decrease Resilience.

Fragment	Resilience Changes
Echo of Leeching	+10
Echo of Persistence	-10 (Titans only)
Ember of Empyrean	-10
Ember of Mercy	+10
Ember of Wonder	+10
Spark of Feedback	+10
Spark of Focus	-10 (Titans only)
Whisper of Conduction	+10
Whisper of Impetus	+10
Thread of Binding	+10
Thread of Warding	-10

Change in Gun Interactions

While differences in Guardian health between tiers is minimal, in the Crucible the minor differences change important gun interactions. In general, higher tiers of resilience will cause certain architypes to increase the number of headshots required to reach optimal Time to Kill(TTK) or outright require more shots to land. For example, an Aggressive Frame Hand Cannon can kill with 1 Head shot + 2 Body shots up to 4 Resilience. A guardian with 5 Resilience can survive this interaction which means that the interaction changes to 2 Head + 1 Body shot.
